1!!The book contains examples of:
2* HarsherInHindsight: The camera causes Greg to become severely obese. His classmates tease him about it for a few days, but stop once [[SadistTeacher Mr. Saurs]] takes part in cruelly mocking him. While his actions are shown as awful in the book, what with the recent epidemic of children developing eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, [[MoralEventHorizon it becomes downright disgusting]].
3* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: It's harder to sympathize with Greg when his teacher and classmates make fun of him for his weight gain considering the fact that the reason he gained weight in the first place was because he was foolish enough to retrieve the evil camera that caused harm to his family and even death last year. On top of that, Greg was also dumb enough to include his misadventures with the camera in his class report, believing that a teacher such as [[SadistTeacher Sourball Saur]] would actually believe such a story that would seem implausible to a normal person instead of just a regular, more believable summer story. So the grade his teacher gave him on his report was well-deserved.
4* ValuesDissonance: A majority of the book revolves around fat shaming which, even in 1996 was nowhere close to appropriate for a children's book. The 2018 Ebook version is the only one that actually attempts to downplay these moments, editing much of it out.
